Do you think Boeheim has a set retirement date that he will stick to?

[OrlandoCuse]

The best thing to ever happen to JB was Coach P’s firing and the hiring of GRob who was completely incompetent. That created an irrational fear in giant portion of the Syracuse fan base that (formerly) successful coaches should never be fired because the next guy that’s hired will completely destroy the program and they’ll never return to their glory years of success. So they will ride or die with JB without realizing the program is slowly dying under him and will never return to its glory years under JB. But hope and loyalty are strong emotions.

 

[Orangezoo]

Uhhh that’s just about all this board does?

On occasion sure. It's usually much more analysis. As for the future you seem to like Digger Phelps on this stuff and this one in particular. You seem adamant you are going to prove something... with making some big assumptions and ( it seems) ignoring some basic possibilities along the way.

Thus at this point its a tailspin into everyone getting chippy. Thus this damn horse is dead.

Same team!! LGO

I think one of the most frustrating things is JB says a million false statements, lies, treats reporters and people just say, “That’s just JB saying stuff”. He says I’ve been grumpy for 47 years, all that shows is lack of growth as a human. It’s just sad. In so many ways he’s had a tremendous impact on the community and program but that shouldn’t mean people can’t respond to the ridiculous things you say and get scolded with more nonsense. It’s time.

He goes out of his way to take the opposite position of the “consensus” in every game thread too, lol.

Hey, every board needs a few. I miss Igor though, that guy had flair.

Maliq Brown is a far better player than Jimmy Boeheim was. You just have to understand what you’re watching.

Maliq brown and JB can both be good in their own ways. Maliq being a freshman has higher potential, but if he’ll need to develop a jump shot especially if Jesse and Joe move on. The team will be in desperate need of an offensive threat.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Holy crap, Jimmy actually averaged 35 mpg last year. Had forgotten that it was THAT bad.

This guy is acting like 6 rpg in 35 minutes is good too. Lol.

He scored 14 a game and gave up like 23.

 

[longtimefan]

We had playing time at forward 2 years ago and couldn’t get anybody, so the coach’s kid had to play all the minutes. It was weird.

Please stop saying this. Swider was not a nobody. It would have been nice to have 2 of him.

It is when you put 17 points alongside it… lol

To win, you need players who are good on offense and defense.

Jimmy was likely the worst defender to play heavy minutes here ever. Not his fault - he did his best. Program should’ve never put him in that position.

I agree - we need an offensive threat at forward….one who competes defensively too though, if he’s going to help us win.

Buddy never made All America, I cant even find where he made a pre-season all america team.

The point is, you cant have a gaping hole in your roster where you have nothing in the Soph and Junior classes because the coach cant retain any of them. In the 20 and 21 recruiting classes, today we are left with Benny who hasnt produced and appears close to checked out.

Props for recognizing JG at the point was a mistake, that insistence contributed to the above issue.

Not to denigrate your research skills, but Buddy made two writers postseason AA teams and was a CBS Sports second team preseason AA. Also All-ACC. But I do get that it’s important to you to run him down.

 

[OrangeDW]

He averaged 14 here, not 17.

14 and 6 when you play the whole game and give up 25 and 15 isn’t good.

 

[Willy75]

I the poster point is even if you don't like it, you have to try to utilize the portal to upgrade your roster. It's now what Clemson football fans are getting on Dabo about.

The conversation was about does Wake use NIL, not whether teams should use the portal. At least it was until the poster veered off on a tangent. But thanks for offering to be his interpreter.

 

[SanDiegoCuse]

Buddy was terrific. Constructing a roster of Buddy and his buddies hurt the program.

 

[Willy75]

Does Buddy have a contract if Troy Weaver isn't in the league?

That’s just churlish. I really don’t get the compulsion some people have to run him down.

 

[Cuse181]

You’re right, I had Cornell stats on the mind. And I don’t disagree it’s bad to give up so much, but it’s not like those 14 points have really been replaced and the forwards are still giving up tons of points. I’m not pretending he is some defensive juggernaut, but neither was swider.

 

[kingtidge]

Remember when he played center?

I sometimes think that was a bad nightmare that actually never happened. I think it may be a form of PTSD.

 

[hungrychuck]

Writing retirement articles on JB is low hanging fruit and one of our own shouldn't be goading him into responses hes going to regret there is no correct answer for JB he still has to coach this team that has at least been competitive and has a shot at winning the ACCT.

I worry that the likes of Gottleib and others in the National media will all want their pound of flesh while they can get it.

You’re very confused.

 

[OrangeDW]

Absolutely absurd.

Especially that game we lost at the end giving up a dunk(was that Wake?) while he was at center over Frank.

If we were down 1 and needed a hoop, I could understand putting him there. But up 1? Needing a stop? Insane.

Yeah, Wake. Now that was a bad coaching decision by JB.

 

[OrangeDW]

He would’ve been a terrific 3rd best player.

Our best guys used to be lottery picks or first rounders.

It was probably one of Wake's big money NIL kids who dunked on JBJ. No way that could have been prevented...

 

[Zelda Zonk]

100%, no one will care about this in a week. People want to be upset, they’re going to get upset and then we will all move on.

Except he’s still going to be the coach next year.

 

[OrangeDW]

Except he’s still going to be the coach next year.

If he’s back, I’m only going to women’s games next year. That program needed a change, and it was made. I’ll support that. It’s already way more fun since none of the drunken mouthbreathers that have to leave their seat 4 times a half go to those games.

Clean break. Sorry to GMac and Red but this has gotten to the point where I don't want any of them around. We need to break from JB completely. No more zone. We need new energy and new ideas. JB is burying any fair chance they will get. Maybe that is his plan so then they won't fire him and turn to his assistants?
